NSSG 58 Posted July 5, 2020 Good afternoon to all. The promotion at Newcastle would like to make a statement through the Supporters group in regard to the current rumours and to hopefully help people stop worrying about our situation at Brough. Due to the covid 19 pandemic and for the benefit of greyhound racing at Newcastle there had been talk of staging greyhound racing on a Sunday and live streaming into bookies. This had been talked about for a bit and would of been more then just for a short term period, moving us onto the only other day available at the stadium, a Monday. Thankfully the greyhounds have opted out of Sunday racing and have decided on taking their extra meeting mid week now. This was advised to us yesterday, Saturday. One issue we do have at the moment is with exception of a handful of track staff and a racing manager, all office and grandstand staff are furloughed till later in the year and the main grandstand areas are all locked down, which for speedway are very much needed to operate. We have put a proposal to the stadium in regard to the grandstand and are waiting for a reply. We will update you all as soon as we can. Many thanks. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's not happening now apparently but the craic I got off a mate of a mate of a mate who works down the chip shop seems to have been correct... and honestly if I told you where the info actually had come from you would be astounded... in fact you wouldn't believe me... Never mind there will be a bit more speedway craic to discuss tomorrow as I am expecting a VIP for a cuppa tomorrow afternoon... Hopefully not as contentious or as hysteria forming as the last subject.. after all an NSSC statement on behalf of the promotion and a post on the club web site from the Promotion... you would think they didn't want anyone to discuss this subject and they were trying to put the issue to bed... conspiracy theory anyone...
